Chapter 992 Eva Explodes! Incoming Death Ball! (1/2)

The Kraken, who had just come out of the depths and was roaring its might, suddenly saw hundreds of Dragons, Phoenixes, and Golems appear in the sky above it, along with other Legendary beings.

Its roar choked in its throat as its eyes widened to show confusion and horror. My brother in Christ, this is a one-on-one battle between me and you folks, why did you have to call in the big guns so early?

Have you no sense of foreplay?

Of course, the Kraken would feel this way. As a giant cephalopod, it was extremely skilled at foreplay, especially when its tentacles managed to latch onto an anime girl. Then, its deeply rotted bloodline instincts would rush out and display its tentacle technique!

However, it soon had little time to think, for Draco and his two babes waved their hands forward, sending their troops to attack. After all, they couldn't undo the seal, even this slightly, for too long, or there would be consequences.

The Kraken roared and waved its plentiful tentacles, striking out at the attackers in the sky. Meanwhile, the dragons charged up their elemental breaths in their throats and fired them down.

Fire breath, ice breath, poison breath, lava breath, wind breath, etc, all of them came hurtling down. The Phoenixes were not to be outdone and shrieked as they flapped their wings.

From those wings, feathers rained down like bullets that were coated in their elemental energies as well. Fire feathers, ice feathers, poison feathers, lava feathers, wind feathers, and more.

The golems also used their attacks freely, sending down earth element mountains, blizzards, fire balls, and giant wind scythes.

From afar, the Kraken was rained upon by hundreds of attacks in a single second, making it look surrounded and alone. It roared with battle intent and waved its tentacles to smash and block some attacks, but more than 97% landed on its body.

BOOOM!

The entire area where the Kraken was situated exploded like a nuclear bomb had landed, and one might as well have with the sheer quantity and quality of energies that were launched at it.

Water was tossed up into the air, and it fell down as rain, causing the sea area here to become turbulent and dangerous. The Kraken cried out as it rose from the depths where it had been knocked down, looking slightly worse for wear.

-345,890,000!

A huge damage value appeared above its head, damage big enough to even put a Rank 6 enemy on their last legs if not outright kill them to death.

However, in the face of the huge 900,000,000,000,000 HP, this was just 0.000038432% of the total!

Tsk, tsk, you're probably feeling aggrieved, thinking that this enemy should fall down easily like the previous ones before the might of the Evil Trio? Wishful thinking!

Rank 7 and Rank 2 is a huge gap and the AI makes you feel it not just through stats and skills, but through direct system-based suppression on rank and level.

The Rank Suppression system works in that with every Rank difference, you suffer +30% damage reduction and +30% reduction to your defense if you're the lower ranked party while the upper ranked party enjoys +30% damage increase as well as +30% defense fortification.

So even 1 Rank difference was brutal, because you lost 30% of your total attack power and were 30% more vulnerable SIMULTANEOUSLY while your enemy who was already stronger than you now has 30% buff to his attack power and is 30% more fortified against your desperate attacks.

Level Suppression was even crueler. Every 5 levels of difference was a direct reduction of your stats by 5%. The highest was obviously 99%, so if the enemy was 100 levels above you, you could only bring out 1% of your total stats.

Seeing as Rank 7 had a whole 100 levels within (from level 300 to 400), you can now understand why some Rank 7 fellows can suppress others. For example, Richmond who was 3 levels away from the cap, could likely cause this Kraken to lose 45% of its Rank 7 stats.

Of course, he would be able to beat the shit out of it, though not be able to kill it.

So basically, despite having stats that were around 160,000 points per field, due to max Rank and Level Suppression Draco, Eva, and Shuangtian were enjoying a 90% reduction to damage and defense while the Kraken enjoyed a 90% boost to damage, and defense as well as all stats reduced by 99%.

This meant that from 160,000 per field, which was enough to probably punch a planet to death, they now had stats worth 1,600 in each field. This was still above even the toughest Rank 7 due to how little stats points one gained per level and should have been enough to one-shot anything below Rank 7.

This was also why Rank 6 was not a threat to the Evil Trio.

However, oof, that 90% reduction to damage and defense. Let's not even talk about the defense and talk about the damage.

If one were to factor in their stats, abilities, and powers, and saw that the max damage they could have done to the Kraken without Rank Suppression (but Level suppression was still on) that would be 657,191,000 damage across the three of them!

Now let's add the 90% increase in defense to the Kraken, and that is now 1,248,662,900 damage! More than a billion damage between the three and enough to kill almost anyone below Rank 5 in one shot.

However, it was reduced to a mere 300 million through this suppression, so you could see how important of a mechanic it was in terms of domination. This was why in the early stages, it was mostly Draco's potential coupled with his backing that suppressed foes and prevented them from messing around with him.

When they reached Rank 4, their power began to climb and very few would dare to mess with them anymore, backing or not. Even the initial 3 years of protection Richmond granted Draco had long worn off, but no Rank 7 yet dared to interfere with him.

Of course, that was because none of them knew Draco and Eva's current level of wealth and assets, otherwise they would descend upon them. The Refinement Treasury, Rila, The divine items, The Divine Dragon Treasury, the Tower of Babylon… any of these were enough for them to declare war on Umbra.

However, Draco had a new backing, which was Paarthurnax and Alduin, two Semi-Origin Rank Dragons who were living in the Ancestral City.

Back to the fight at hand, The Kraken was roaring in pain when it slowly paused. It realized that it didn't actually really hurt and that the damage done wasn't actually that much after all.

Then it glanced at the impressive lineup with disdain and mockery in its eyes. It began to laugh and point at the fellows in the sky with its tentacles, slapping its other tentacle as if it was its knee.

This made the face of Draco and Shuangtian change greatly as they turned to Eva.

"EVA , CALM DOWN!" Draco roared as he rushed over.

"BIG SISTER, WAIT!" Shuangtian also cried out, speeding over.

However, an explosion of white light sounded that sent the two of them and their summons flying as the world began to crack and shake. Draco and Shuangtian spat out a mouthful of blood as their eyes showed worry and anxiety.

Meanwhile, Eva floated in place as great energy formed around her, cracking space and causing the world to look like Shirohige was pouching the air.

She looked down upon the Kraken which was now shocked with a furious light in her eyes.

"You, a mere mongrel beast, dare to mock our power?!" Eva roared with a glow in her eyes.

Draco cursed. He was a villain and Shuangtian was a rising empress, both had magnanimity to some extent in their bones or wouldn't react strongly.

However, Eva was a goddess, and trampling on her dignity was a taboo!

Why do you think everyone walked on eggshells around her, but was not so reserved with Draco or Shuangtian? You never know when an action of yours might be perceived as insulting by a deity.

Now, this damn Kraken had dared to laugh at her low damage output to her face, and was the first since she had reached 100% bloodline. Hence, Eva was no longer interested in sealing herself and was about to let the Kraken enjoy 12 points of Eternal Control!

Converted to Boundless standard, that was equivalent to boom-boom-pow-explodey universe-kablam!

Clearly not very conducive to continued existence of all species.

The troubling part was that Draco and Shuangtian could restrain her and calm her down if they were mentally connected, but Eva was usually the source of this connection. Once she exploded, it was obviously suppressed strongly.

"Now, everyone shall die!" Eva screamed as she gathered all her energy through her finger and point it up.

Frieza- *cough* Eva began charging up a giant reddish-black ball which illuminated the entire horizon and made all the beings below shake in fear… including her own side.
